Antonio Pierce on Davante Adams: Tom Telesco will handle that; I take care of the grass

The Raiders are likely pursuing trade offers for Davante Adams, and it’s likely the star receiver has played his last game for the team.

Raiders coach Antonio Pierce declined to talk about Adams or anything else on the trade front during the coach’s media presence Wednesday. He deviated on Friday.

“That will be handled on the third floor (by general manager Tom Telesco),” Pierce said, via Tashan Reed of TheAthletic.com. “I’m focusing on the Denver Broncos and getting my team ready to play. . . . I take care of the grass; Telesco will arrange it everything else.”

A report earlier this week indicated that the Raiders “to consider” trading the three-time All-Pro in exchange for a second-round draft pick and additional compensation.

Adams is still owed $13.5 million of his $17.5 million salary and bonuses for this season. He is under contract through 2026, but his salaries for the next two seasons increase to $35.640 million and $36.640 million for 2025 and 2026, respectively, with no guaranteed money left.

The Raiders gave the Packers a first- and second-round pick in 2022 to acquire Adams, who has 221 catches for 2,869 yards and 23 touchdowns in 37 games with the Raiders. He missed Sunday’s game due to a hamstring injury and is being considered week-to-week with his injury.
